RED FM Presents “Vanakkam Calgary”, Every Sunday 8-9PM

Vanakkam Calgary or “Hello Calgary” is all about bringing together the Tamil fraternity in the city.

The Tamil listenership in Calgary is growing every day. On Vanakkam Calgary, we discuss topics that affect the Tamil community – from entertainment to social issues, promoting Calgary based events and cultural activities. The idea is to give our listeners, a slice of their hometown in Calgary, while staying fiercely local.
